Comprehensive genomic sequencing detects important genetic differences between right-sided and left-sided colorectal cancer

Abstract: ObjectivesAnti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy has been found to be more effective against left-sided colorectal cancer (LCRC) than right-sided colorectal cancer (RCRC). We hypothesized that RCRC is more likely to harbor genetic alterations associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapy and tested this using comprehensive genomic sequencing.Materials and methodsA total of 201 patients with either primary RCRC or LCRC were analyzed. We investigated tumors for genetic alterations using a 415-gen… Show more

“…The relationship between colonic location and differential clinical and molecular features of CRC has been widely established, and the same seems to apply to SCRC (2, 7, 9). Our division of SCRC into categories according to clonality and colon location of the tumors within the same patient showed a smaller proportion of SCRC cases in the right colon that were mainly monoclonal, as opposed to the higher rate of SCRCs in the left colon, which were mainly polyclonal.…”

“…As previously described (15,(31)(32)(33)(34), formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded (FFPE) samples were used for next-generation sequencing (NGS), and genetic alterations, including RNF43, were evaluated. Briefly, hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections were used to assess tumor content, to ensure that >50% tumor content was present.…”

“…Primary tumor location was determined by operative findings. Cancer in the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, or transverse colon was classified as RCRC; while cancer in the splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectosigmoid, or rectum was classified as LCRC (15).…”

“…It is therefore important to consider geographic and ethnic differences when looking to understand the profile of genomic alterations, and apply NGS analysis to the development of therapies for Asian patients. Recently, we studied several types of solid cancers, including colorectal, gastric, lung, and breast cancer, in Japan utilizing NGS-based comprehensive genomic panel testing, 8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and revealed some differences in genomic alterations between Asian and non-Asian populations.…”
